Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift is a satirical novel that follows the voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon who encounters a series of strange and fantastical lands. In his travels, Gulliver meets the tiny people of Lilliput, the giants of Brobdingnag, the abstract thinkers of Laputa, and the noble horses called Houyhnhnms who rule over the brutish Yahoos. Each voyage serves as a sharp critique of aspects of 18th-century British society, including politics, science, human nature, and colonialism. Through its imaginative scenarios and biting irony, the novel challenges readers to reflect on the absurdities and follies of humanity, making it one of the most enduring works of English satire.
